Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The special task force committee, led by its chairman, General (rtd) Jeremiah Aliyu Faransa, has again raided a notorious mining site in Taraba State.<\/p>\n

The site, which is located in Akwana village of Wukari Local Government Council, was earlier raided during which no fewer than seven trucks loaded with precious stones were confiscated.<\/p>\n

In an interview with newsmen on Wednesday, in Wukari, the chairman of the taskforce decried the activities of illegal miners in the area.<\/p>\n

He assured that he would do everything humanly possible to tame the activities of illegal miners, saying that Governor Agbu Kefas administration cannot be frustrated by any enemy of the State.<\/p>\n

The chairman added that revenue generation was intentionally downplayed because of selfish interests, calling for a change of attitude.<\/p>\n

He averred that the state governor\u2019s agenda was geared towards developing the state, insisting that the right thing must be done for the state to move forward.<\/p>\n

He said he would not sit and watch bad elements destroy Governor Agbu Kefas\u2019 administration.<\/p>\n
